How to unload a container that is on its chassis?
Goods from a container on its chassis can be removed by bringing the goods to the edge of the container and using a forklift to pick up the goods for removal. For this process usually a forklift driver will wait for the workers to palletize the goods and bring the goods to the edge of the truck using a hand pallet jack.
A temporary ramp can be used by placing pallets in a stair pattern for easy unloading at the beginning of the container.
